    Ok i'm having a problem finding my wireless card?

    Gone into networks and nothing seems to be there an icon that representing wireless?

    I've switched it on using the side buttons too.

    I've tried to add a wireless device to network but it says no wireless devices were found?

    Any ideas please? I'm on vista which is coming off soon as i can't stand it!
    Got a Dell XPS M1530 laptop Intel wireless wifi link 4965AGN

    Right clicking my computer >Device manger newtword adapters it's listed there?

    When that happened to my HP dv6000 last month, it was from a faulty motherboard. Had it sent back three times, finally just sold it ang got the XPS. I hope this isn't your problem. Good chance it is not your problem.

    If nothing there - phone dell unless you want to try re-seating the card yourself?
